Got Transparency?
Gerald Celente
The next time you're bored, google "Gerald Celente". Or, better yet, just click here. Mr. Celente, Founder and Director of the Trends Research Institute, is a unique soul. More specifically, he is a trend expert, trusted worldwide as the foremost authority on forecasting, analyzing, and tracking trends. Celente accurately predicted the current financial crisis, and strongly argues that the Federal Reserve System is at the root of our problem. I am always fascinated when I hear him speak, but I found this clip from one of his appearances on Russia Today particularly captivating.
"Washington is Wall Street and Wall Street is Washington. It's an illusion that there's any difference. And again, the Federal Reserve, by lowering interest rates, created the problem. And now they're creating the bailout bubble, which is even bigger than the dot come bubble and the real estate bubble. So no, this is not going to do much of anything. It's just a confidence-building measure, and confidence isn't really going to change the game. It's like putting a set of brakes on a car that has already crashed, and these aren't very good brakes at all."

S.1261- The PASS ID Act

H.R. 2454 Passes in House
On Friday, June 26 the House of Representatives passed H.R. 2454, better known as the “American Clean Energy and Security Act”. On the surface, this unprecedented legislation looks like an innocent bill backed by good intentions. The title alone suggests that it aims to protect our environment and ultimately our planet. But looks can be deceiving and, in this case, it would benefit us greatly to heed the old saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Mr. Obama and his Administration claim that H.R. 2454 will create millions of “green” jobs and help reduce our dependency on foreign oil. Whether or not this is accurate, the American Clean Energy and Security Act would also allow the federal government to tax U.S. citizens on a scale never before seen in our history. In addition to skyrocketing taxes, the government would also be granted the power to monitor and regulate the use of electricity in practically any way they deemed necessary. From the type of light bulbs you use to how your entire house or office building is designed, everything would be regulated and taxed. Please understand, this new policy would not be a suggestion. It would be the law, and it would be enforced. The actual text of the bill clearly details the use of a “youth corps” or “youth brigades” to act as “climate police” or “environmental police”. And all this is just the tip of the iceberg. If passed by the Senate and signed into law, H.R. 2454 would impose new taxes that would devastate the world of small business and lead our economy into an even deeper depression. Ron Paul recently said it best in one of his columns:
"The real inconvenient truth is that the cost of government regulations, taxes, fees, red tape and bureaucracy is a considerable expense that has to be considered when companies decide where to do business and how many people they can afford to hire. Increasing governmental burden directly causes capital flight and job losses, as Spain has learned. In this global economy its easy enough for businesses to relocate to countries that are more politically friendly to economic growth. If our government continues to kick the economy while its down, it will be a long time before it gets back up. In fact, jobs are much more likely to go overseas, compounding our problems."
In the ongoing effort to defend liberty and the U.S. Constitution, patriots across the country (including members of Congress) see this bill as a real threat. And the people behind it are well aware of its inherent flaws. They know perfectly well that it would violate the Constitution and impede on our civil liberties. And they knew that it would be much easier to pass in the House if they kept it quiet from the public and made it nearly impossible for Representatives to read it before having to vote on it. That is why the mainstream media gave it close to no attention before it went to vote. That is why a 300 page amendment was submitted at 3:08 the morning before the vote. And that is why when members of Congress asked if they could see the bill before voting, they were repeatedly told “No” by none other than Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.
Once again, the federal government is using secrecy and fear to pass legislation that would further strip away our civil liberties. Please learn more about H.R. 2454. Please do not blindly accept legislation that would transfer wealth from the private sector to the government sector. And, if you disagree with this legislation, please call your Senators and ask them to vote against the bill. It is up to us to fight this tyranny.

Federal Reserve Granted Dictatorial Powers
“The regulations should be on the Federal Reserve. We should have transparency of the Federal Reserve. They can create trillions of dollars to bail out their friends, and we don’t even have any transparency of this. They’re more powerful than the Congress,” said Paul.
As we reported yesterday, the new rules would see the Fed given the authority to “regulate” any company whose activity it believes could threaten the economy and the markets.
Obama’s regulatory “reform” plan is nothing less than a green light for the complete and total takeover of the United States by a private banking cartel that will usurp the power of existing regulatory bodies, who are now being blamed for the financial crisis in order that their status can be abolished and their roles handed over to the all-powerful Fed.
“They’re giving a tremendous amount of more power to the Federal Reserve - the very institution that created our problem. That’s about the way Washington works,” said the Congressman.
“Too much regulations to begin with, so they give it more. The Federal Reserve creates the problem, so we give them more power. It’s fiat money that’s the problem, so we allow them to double the money supply - you can’t solve the problems that way. That’s like saying you can take care of a drug addict by just giving them more drugs,” concluded Paul, adding that the lack of understanding about how the Federal Reserve created the problem and how the free market ought to work was the root of the crisis.
